I-India inyanga umgibeli Vikram (nge-rover Pragyan) of I-Chandrayaan-3 Imishini ifinyelele ngokuphephile endaweni ephakeme inyanga phezulu esigxotsheni esiseningizimu kanye nemithwalo ekhokhelwayo. Lokhu okokuqala inyanga umgomo wokufika endaweni ephakeme inyanga isigxobo esiseningizimu lapho ubukhona bamanzi/iqhwa kuqinisekiswa khona.
I-Chandrayaan-2 mission ngaphambili yayihlulekile ukufeza inyanga ukuwela phansi okuthambile ngenkathi umlandeli wayo ephahlazeka inyanga ngomhlaka-6 Septhemba 2019 ngenxa ye-snag yobuchwepheshe.
Ngokubonisa ngempumelelo ubuchwepheshe be inyanga ikhono lokuhlala kancane, Idatha ye-ISRO umkhankaso wokuhlola inyanga uzuze ingqophamlando ebalulekile ekusaseni lawo phakathi kwamaplanethi ohambweni. Ngakho-ke i-India isiyizwe lesine emhlabeni (ngemuva kwe-USA, eyayiyi-USSR kanye ne-China) ukuba "inyanga ikhono lokuhlala elithambile”.
Muva nje, isiRashiya inyanga I-Lander mission uLuna-25 uzame ukuhlala kancane endaweni eseningizimu yenyanga ngomhlaka-19th Agasti 2023 kodwa ngeshwa ukuphahlazeka kwafika futhi kwehluleka. Kodwa-ke, iziphathimandla zaseRussia zamemezela ukuthi zizosala inyanga uhlanga. IsiRashiya inyanga uhlelo lube nekhefu elide. Ukugcina kwabo ngempumelelo inyanga Umsebenzi wawungo-1976 lapho uLuna 24 waseSoviet Union ebuyile ngempumelelo inyanga amasampula eMhlabeni.
Ngemuva kwekhefu elide kusukela kumishini ye-Appolo 17 ngo-1972, e-USA NASA izoqala umkhankaso wayo wokuvelela we-Artemis Moon Mission oklanyelwe ukusungula ubukhona bomuntu enyangeni ukuze ufeze injongo yokujula. isikhala izindawo zokuhlala zabantu Mashi.
Kokubili i-USA neRussia (njengomlandeli we-USSR) bangabadlali asebenesikhathi eside bakhona isikhala ubuchwepheshe. Imisebenzi yabo yenyanga eyimpumelelo kakhulu ifinyelele iziqongo ezibalulekile eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu edlule futhi ihlale ivaliwe kusukela maphakathi nawo-70 kuze kube muva nje.
I-China ne-India basanda kungena (uma kuqhathaniswa ne-USA ne-Russia). Uhlelo lwamaShayina lwenyanga luqale ngo-2007 ngokwethulwa kwe-Chang'e 1. Umsebenzi wabo we-Chang'e 3 wenyanga wabonisa amandla okufika kancane ngo-2013. Umsebenzi wokugcina wenyanga yase-China u-Chang'e 5 uzuze isampula lekhono lokubuyisela ngo-2020. Njengamanje, i-China isaqhubeka nokusebenza. wokwethula i-crewed moon mission. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uhlelo lwaseNdiya lwenyanga lwaqala ngo-2008 nge-Chandrayaan 1 mission. Ngemuva kwegebe leminyaka eyi-11, i-Chandrayaan 2 yethulwa ngo-2019 kodwa lo mkhankaso awukwazanga ukufeza ikhono lokufika enyangeni.
